And although most of the 400+ photos are of Liam eating biscuits, there are a few others:

Like Liam with his mommy:And Liam with his daddy:Liam with Grandpa:Liam with Grandma:Liam with Great-Grandma, from his grandmother's side:Liam with Great-Grandma, from his grandfather's side:Liam with his uncle and his cousin:Liam with his great-aunt:Liam with a friend:Liam with another friend:Liam with more friends:And another friend:And Liam by himself:Now, there are more pictures and movies. There's a video of a magician and one of a flying girl. There's the beautiful Baha'i Gardens. There's the babies' TV channel, which as far as I'm concerned, is the way Israeli parents occupy their babies while trying to provide them with siblings. There are philosophical musings about Israel. And more pictures of Liam.

Like, for example, many people may ask how come the picture of Liam playing with a naked barbie doll didn't make the cut. And what about his Rasta hat? And any chance of me giving some context to any of these pictures?

But we just got here today, and these things will have to wait. And anyway, I still have a cemetery story to tell. Thanks for sticking around.

SJ, these are very philosophical questions, especially considering the fact that when you come here to visit, my Statcounter tells me you're in New York.

Xbox, he's not ready yet. And the world isn't, either. I had to use a hologram.

Jill, have fun on your vacation. Now, there is a downside to having a cute baby. Mainly it's the look of disbelief I get when people compare us. I mean, he does look like me, only good looking.

Chris, I think one of the best things is that taking a photo isn't a sacred experience anymore. Instead of having people pose with dumb smiles, you can just take as many photos as you want and capture a more honest expression.

Ajooja, I know. Even though it wasn't a "Liam with" picture, I had to put i there. It's like his eyes sparkle.

B, thanks. Three-year-olds apparently love to give babies kisses. The line, "Careful. He's not a toy," had to be repeated a few times.

Aimee, thank you. I'm really happy they got to see him. He behaved pretty well with them, too. He tried to grab one's glasses and started pooping as soon as the other great-grandmother touched him. But they didn't care. For some reason, when you're a baby, it's cute.

Jennifer, they're blue in the picture, but they get red when he commands us. And it was a lot of fun, even though probably the least stressful part was watching Cloverfield on the plane.
